The nerve that connects the larynx to the brain in all animals goes down through the neck, around the aorta, up through the neck again.
In giraffes, it is the longest nerve in the animal kingdom. The signal delay is so long that giraffes are unable to make any complex sounds.

Yes
I don’t like it. But it’s probably #2. Centaurs replace the neck of the base animal with a human torso.
But then the torso wouldn’t be so long.
Considering the path of the Giraffes Recurrent laryngeal nerve, I would say so too.
Ps everyone should go watch centaurworld. It’s a masterpiece.
:3
Only correct answer.
Centaurworld is probably one of the best Netflix shows
Netflix sort of went to shit so I’ve been off it for a while.
Is this an outlier or do they actual serve anything decent these days?
definitely an outlayer. give it a watch.
Imma sail the high seas on this one.
however you watch it, enjoy it.
not really a spoiler but
make sure you are in a good place and close to good company for s01e08.
Shit, maybe not. I’m in the US and I’m pretty fucking fragile right now, emotionally. XD
mate. feel free to DM me if you need to after that episode
Hush now, hide, all you little ones Rush now, into the middle of nowhere Singing and laughter will die.
One of the few “kids” shows who treated their audience with upmost respect, never talked down to the audience, and knew that kids are able to see and understand heavy topics. the suicide episode still haunts me on how incredibly good it was.
Yes, I will die on the hill that a show about farting animals is genuinely a must watch for everyone.
I was stoned out of my gourd one day after work, and the friend that talked up Steven Universe (warning me not to binge - I did and it shattered me.) said to watch centaurworld. I gave it a chance and have no regrets.
Gritty, heavy, but loving and communicative. Beautiful show.
it holds up sober too.
Oh it definitely does, that was just why I started it.
Finished it out stone cold sober and it was really fantastic.
It’s so good!
I’m mildly offended that I can consistently be reduced to a blubbering mess by a show with literal fart-based plot points.
as far as shows with literal fart based plots. this one’s the best
Centaurworld nailed it. Next question
There’s a 3d option available:
Good ol’ Hamlet! Anytime one of these “what if centaur but different” posts come up I think about him
Good ol’ Hamlet
…that play is apparently VERY different from how I remember it 🤔
How long has it been since you’ve visited Denmark? Because that geraffe is the spitting image of this Danish exchange student I dated in high school
How long has it been since you’ve visited Denmark?
Since I’m a Danish citizen and have lived here my whole life, I guess I’ve technically never VISITED Denmark 😄
Because that geraffe is the spitting image of this Danish exchange student I dated in high school
That’s probably Pernille. She works at my local hardware store.
she’s a classy lady
I… what the fuck am I looking at… ?
Please draw a diagram of this creature’s digestive system for me. Also their spinal structure.
This a giraffe with an elaborate head ornament.
Yeah… the Smiles are pretty fucked up.
So I am an expert in alternative digestive systems. It loops down into the human then back up into the geraffe. That’s so the human segment can be vomited at a predator as a defense mechanism m
Sorry, but I have no clue how this character functions at all. Ask Oda (One Piece creator) about this. 😁
I… what the fuck am I looking at… ?
It’s the human centipede. But giraffe.
Giraffes have the same number of neck vertebrae as you and me, the bones are just much longer.
An actual giraffe centaur with human torso from the animal’s chest up would just be a long-legged spotty horse centaur.

I do believe that would be more like a minotaur than a centaur
Minoraffe? Giraffitaur?
Das “-taur” kommt natürlich von “Taurus” also Stier. Also eindeutig “Minoraffe”, klingt auch passend, finde Ich. Nur ein wenig nach Affe.
Talk about back pain.
Good posture is VERY important in this case.
The first one. The second one is way too top heavy to be practical.
I have no idea, but if i had to pick one based on looks i would pick the right. It just looks more umm reasonable?
It would fall over. Talk about top heavy
centaur have human shoulders and neck and head. And horse body without neck&head
so the first one is right, except with human neck
Are you implying standard centaurs don’t have horse necks?
Yeah, have you not seen a standard centaur before? Sheesh
Why would the giraffe have a 6 foot torso?
Yeah, what’s going on inside there?
Why don’t you have six foot torso
Well obviously I do but I’m not a giraffe.
The second one. The magic that created them would fortify their muscles.
The weight distribution of second one looks… unstable… probably too top-heavy to be effective.
first option because the equivalent of giraffe neck would be human neck.
